Server Monitoring uses a lightweight agent to track CPU, memory, disk, and network use on your Linux servers. A small bash script runs every minute with cron and sends data to InfraBeacon, where you can view it in clear charts.
Key features
- CPU usage - Track processor use over time
- Memory and swap - Monitor used memory, free memory, and swap use
- Disk usage - Keep an eye on root filesystem capacity
- Network throughput - View RX and TX bytes per second
- Historical charts - Explore data across nine time ranges, from 1 hour to 365 days
- 24-hour peak summary - See the highest use from the past day at a glance
How it works
- You create a server agent in your InfraBeacon account and receive a unique token
- Run the installer script on your Linux server with that token
- The agent collects data every minute and reports back to InfraBeacon
- View live gauges and historical charts in your dashboard
The agent is a single bash script. It only needs curl. It stores a small amount of state in /var/lib/ib-agent and logs errors to /var/log/ib-agent.log.
Email alerts
Email alerts are available when paid access is active. When enabled, InfraBeacon emails you if CPU, memory, or disk use passes the limits you set. Free accounts do not include email alerts. Add prepaid balance from your account to enable them.
